Torosaurus is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the Late Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 66 million years ago, and weighed approximately 4 to 6 tons. Fossils of Torosaurus have been discovered in the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota, the Lance Creek Formation of Wyoming, and other locations across the United States and Canada, including Colorado.

Torosaurus is renowned for having one of the largest skulls of any land animal, not just among dinosaurs. Its enormous neck frill, extending from the back of the skull and covering the neck, made up much of its overall head length. This frill was likely used for display or species recognition rather than defense. Torosaurus is distinguished from its close relative Triceratops by its larger, thinner frill that featured two large openings (fenestrae), a key characteristic unique to the genus.
